Hi,
I have a friend (let's call her Amy) who's going through a messy break up with her husband. I've been supporting her for a year with this (helping with school pick up/drop off, cooking food, being a soundboard for her to vent, etc). However lately, I've felt a bit awkward around her for a number of reasons. One of which is, we have a mutual friend (Helen) who she was more close to than me. A lovely, sweet lady who has had a tumultous upbringing. She used to go out with Helen and Helen's husband and children frequently. But something happened between her and Helen and she stopped talking to Helen. She just blanks her whenever she sees her, just cut her off. So it's been like this for a couple of months, but then I noticed that Amy attempts to talk to Helen's husband all the time. I find it odd that she isn't friends with Helen anymore but will try to talk to Helen's husband. He doesn't engage in conversation with her anymore and moves away. She's made comments a few times to me that Helen is too insecure and emotional, but her and Helen's husband are on the same wavelength and their thinking is the same.
Am I wrong to think she shouldn't be trying to talk to Helen's husband when she isn't friends with her anymore?! And I've just got the ick from her because of this and a couple more issues that I won't go into otherwise it will get too long.
